In love with...

The Body Shop Vitamin E night cream.


So, so good.

Gambled and won!

On the weekend, Brett & I went to the Casino. Now normally i am not a gambler, but i came out $200 on top- not bad for a $35 bet. I played the poker machines and won $70and the rest on roulette.

Now i just have be careful and not become addicted.

Christmas gifts

I am trying to get organised for Christmas, and came across this little gem. It is a handmade calendar by Still Life With Wallpaper. I bought 2- one in green and one in red.



Each calendar is $14 (bargain) and is even better in real life. You can get them here

Another one...

When I first saw this dress I wasn't too fussed on it, but now it's growing on me. Good for work and play.

Today...

Today i am going to go to the city with my fella, to have lunch and drink wine (and maybe shop). Why? Because i can. As much as i know Uni is worth it, and i will benefit from the extra 7 years of education, it still has its moments of...shit.

Since i work full-time and study part-time, i really dont have much time for general hanging out, and whenever i do, i feel guilty because there is always an assignment due or papers to read.

So today, i am doing nothing. Because i can. I will also blog more, because i can. I will also watch re-runs of dodgy movies and tv shows because i can.

Ahhh. Bliss.

On my way to work...

Brisbane has many beautiful things, especially these flowers that I see everyday alongside a busy, main road as i walk to the bus stop . Don't they look like they belong in a resort or something??

In its place

Now that Uni has finished for the year, i actually have time to do...stuff.
So, i have decided to organise- especially my jewellery and makeup. Here is what i have found so far...





You can get them here , but first tell me- how do you keep your 'stuff' organised?

Idea

Thinking that you should be able to get vodka tablets. Kinda like a multi-vitamin.

Organisation is key!

Am i the only person in love with Cath Kidston products? I especially like the 2009 agenda...

Work/Wine

So, in Australia there is a horse race called The Melbourne Cup. Basically, its an excuse to put on a dress, drink copious amounts of wine. My work is having drinks and we have to dress up- but not too much because we still have to work...or look like it anyway.

Here is what i am thinking of wearing. Thoughts?


I know its a dodgy photo, but basically its pink dress and new, lovely shoes!

Mineral makeup

Has anyone else joined the mineral makeup band wagon? I recently bought this Bloom stater kit and love it! It costs $100 and has $162 value. Included is; mineral foundation, mineral bronzer, makeup base, foundation brush concealer brush and an intructional DVD (which is good because i am clueless about makeup!).

I haven't tried any other brands, but I am quite happy with Bloom. Any other suggestions?

Oohhh, i also bought this eyeliner and got about 10 (very nice)comments the next day about it.

Nerd.

I so want this. I am such a nerd.

Its from here

Very Important Stuff

If you are anything like me, choosing a calendar is very important stuff. It is a something that you have to look at for a YEAR, so it has to be good.

Here are my picks from Etsy...

Or, if birds aren't your fancy- CUPCAKES!


You can get them here

Undecided.

I'm not sure if i love or hate this top.

Yep, another one...

So, i kinda like this dress too. It has white birds printed on it. Thinking it would be good for casual days at work etc.


Thoughts?

Haikus inspired by the bus...

The bus was soooo gross today, but did inspire these...

I feel bad that your
facial hair is abundant but
am glad it's not mine

Help! I am stuck on
public transport with the crazies
I want to get off

Reading...

So, for the past month or so I have been reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. One word-Brilliant!

Its a massive book, but so, so worth it. My favourite quote so far (when thinking about attention from boys) 'how could that not frost my cake?'

Love it.

Some things never change

I love simple dresses. Therfore, i love these dresses.

Want..

This purse...



Love Spencer and Rutherford bags and purses. They are sooo decadent. I will have to find $170 for this one though. Hmmm, how can i justify it to the credit card?

Wondering...

if birds have a penis?* I realise they have something, but is it a penis, and if so, do they have testicles AKA balls?

I would google this question, but i am afraid, very afraid, of what would come back!





*Do not ask me why i am wondering this.There is no logical, reasonable answer. Just go with it.
